on June 12th, 2009 in General by Dan | 12 CommentsI’m quitting comics. This isn’t news that is going to send the executives of DC and Marvel scurrying through the corridors in panic.

on June 6th, 2009 in Uncategorized by Dan | 30 CommentsLast month I got a brand new lawn mower. It’s one of those man-powered push along ones, and I must say I’m very happy with it.
